“Majestic Theatre & Ted Herbert
Music School To Hold Grand Opening”

The Majestic Theatre and Ted Herbert Music School are please to open its
new studio doors to the public on Sunday, March 12th between 3pm and
6pm. This is a great opportunity to see their new home and learn about theatre
and music opportunities for all ages. Live music, raffles, refreshments and
tours will be offered throughout the 3 hour open house.

Upon hearing
that they would have to vacate their leased Downtown Manchester building due to
the owner’s plans to redevelop, they launched a search for a new home. After a
challenging period a new home was found at 880 Page Street in Manchester. Renovations
were done to ensure the space would meet the needs of both The Majestic Theatre
and Ted Herbert Music School. In late December The Majestic leadership with the
help of many volunteers relocated to the property which provides 7,000 square
feet, onsite parking and easy access to city and highways. After renovations
the property now has 9 music studios, theatre rehearsal spaces, a recital hall,
as well as offices and costume/prop storage.

Special
thanks to the Norwin S. & Elizabeth N. Bean Foundation for providing a grant
to support part of the renovation and relocation. Continued fundraising will be
done to support phase two; central air conditioning to remaining studios prior
to the summer.
